Thank you for purchasing a St George appliance that we are sure will provide many years of great cooking
experiences. If you haven’t had the pleasure of cooking with St George previously, you may find that it has different
features and characteristics to your last appliance. It is essential you read this operation manual thoroughly to fully
understand all of the various functions and operations. The aim is to encourage you to experiment with your
cooking and take advantage of the features St George offers.
The versatility of your new appliance means most foods will cook successfully using alternative functions. The key
to achieving results that best suit your personal taste is experimentation.
This manual should be retained for future reference. Should ownership of the appliance be transferred, please
ensure that the manual is also passed onto the new owner.
1.2Installation Checks and Warnings
In the interests of your safety and the care of your new appliance, please take time to carefully read this manual
before installing and using the appliance. In particular your attention is drawn to the following:-
Incorrect installation of the appliance as a result of not following the detailed specifications can affect the
appliances performance. Ovens incorrectly installed may invalidate the warranty and we strongly recommend
that the oven cavity, venting, wiring and gas connection be prepared as described in the specifications.
This is critical to appearance, oven performance and safety. For installation details, please refer to Cabinet
Installation Instructions.
A licensed electrician and licensed gas fitter with relevant qualifications must perform the electrical and gas work
when installing or servicing the appliance. The supply cable and fuse rating must be suitable for the appliance. You
must never repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the operation manual.
For installation details, please refer to Gas Connection Instructions, and Electrical Connection Instructions
and Wiring Diagrams.
VENTILATION SLOTS AND AIR VENTS MUST NOT BE COVERED OR OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY.
DON’T USE ALUMINIUM FOIL ON THE BASE OF OVENS
The use of aluminium foil on the base of the oven to collect spills and improve cleaning is not recommended. The
bottom element of St George ovens is concealed under the base of the oven liner (not exposed). Foil or dishes
with reflective qualities must never be placed on the base of the oven during cooking as the concentration
of the direct and reflected heat will damage the enamel surface. Damage resulting from such use is not
covered under the provisions of the warranty. Refer to Cleaning and Maintenance for care instructions for
your new appliance.

KNOWING YOUR ST GEORGE ELECTRIC WALL OVEN
INITIAL HEAT UP
Some smoke and smell may be noticed during the initial heat up cycle (see Using the Appliance for the First Time). This
should quickly dissipate. If abnormal levels of smoke are observed (i.e. it is not food that is burning) have the appliance
thoroughly checked.
DON’T USE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE FOR LIFTING
The grill pan handle provided should only be used to assist in sliding the grill pan in and out of the oven compartments. AT N O
TIME MAY IT BE USED FOR LIFTING THE GRILL PAN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PAN IS LADEN WITH FOOD.
DON’T USE THE APPLIANCE AS A SPACE HEATER
The appliance must never be used for warming or heating the surrounding room or for drying clothes or textiles or other items
not specifically recommended in the operation manual. Combustible materials or products must never be placed on or near
the appliance.
DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE
Children must not be left unsupervised in the area where the appliance is in use. The appliance gets hot during use and retains
heat for some time after being turned off. Children must never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THE APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION
OVEN CARE – ACIDIC FOODS
Certain foods can cause severe corrosion of enamel and metal finishes if the oven surface is not completely cleaned after use.
This is particularly so around the joins in the oven liner and the chrome racks and shelves.
Examples of these are vinegar, sour milk, citrus fruits, olives, strong salt solutions and fruit juices. Regular inspection will
alleviate the likelihood of this type of damage occurring. Some oven cleaners can also have a detrimental effect on vitreous
enamel surfaces.
POLYUNSATURATED OILS
The excessive use of polyunsaturated oils in cooking can cause deposits of solidified oils on the inside surfaces of the oven
and are extremely difficult to remove from glass and enamel finishes. Their use, where possible should be minimised.
AEROSOLS
DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.
The use of aerosol cans such as insect spray, deodorants, repellents, stove cleaners, hair spray, paint and food preservatives
etc., must be avoided in the proximity of your oven, especially near controls or switches. Some aerosols contain chemicals
that cause rapid corrosion of metals and enamels. This normally shows in the form of white staining of the vitreous enamel or
rusting. Damage of this kind is not covered in the appliance warranty.
OVEN CLEANERS
We recommend a non-caustic oven cleaner be used at all times. Any residue of oven cleaner should be thoroughly removed
to avoid corrosion of metal finishes.
4
Page 7
KNOWING YOUR ST GEORGE ELECTRIC WALL OVEN
• NEVER use the oven to dry out oven cleaners as they can produce a highly corrosive chemical reaction that will attack the
enamel.
• NEVER activate any element or burner on the appliance (except oven light) while there is oven cleaner in the oven
compartment.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL WHEN USING THE APPLIANCE
Loose fitting, hanging or highly flammable garments (such as synthetics) should never be worn while using the appliance.
USE ONLY DRY POT HOLDERS
Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth when handling hot cooking utensils.
DON’T USE OVEN OR GRILL COMPARTMENTS FOR STORAGE
Items, particularly flammable materials, must never be stored in an oven or near surface units.
DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES
Fats, oils or other substances will ignite if they become too hot. Fires or flames should be smothered using flame proof
material or extinguished using a dry chemical or another suitable fire retardant.
USE AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMED COOKING ONLY IN SUITABLE MODES
Automatic programmed cooking is available in the multi-function oven only and suitable only for Defrost, Fan Oven, Normal
Oven and Fan Grill modes.
DO NOT USE OVERSIZE COOKWARE OR PLACE COOKWARE OFF-CENTRE OVER BURNERS
Oversize cookware will deflect heat towards the cooktop and bench top surfaces. Cookware with large bases, especially if
placed off-centre over the burners, may cause deterioration of the cooktop and bench top surfaces. Such damage is not
covered under the provisions of the warranty. Follow the illustrations and examples in the Cooktop Cooking instructions.
NEVER USE AN ASBESTOS MAT BETWEEN COOKWARE AND COOKTOP
Use of an asbestos mat is both hazardous and will cause damage to the unit.
SELECT AND USE COOKWARE SUITABLE FOR THE CERAMIC COOKTOP (FEC model only)
Under certain conditions some enamel, copper based and aluminium saucepans can cause deterioration of the cooktop
surface. Stainless steel cookware should not react in this way. Aluminium cookware in particular is not recommended.
ONLY PLACE COOKWARE ON COOKING ZONES, PAN SUPPORTS OR OVEN SHELVES
Other surfaces of the appliance, for example trims, are not totally resistant to hard or sharp materials or direct heat and may
be damaged by such use.
NOTE: To ensure correct ventilation, freestanding ranges are fitted with thermostatically controlled ventilation fans. The ventilation
fan/s will automatically operate and may continue to operate (even with the controls in the off positions) until the temperature
falls below the operating limits.

1.3Features and Benefits
A range of cooking options is combined in your St George freestanding range. St George’s extra large ovens allow
you to cook everything from small simple dishes for one, to complete dinners for the whole family. The multifunction modes give you the ability to defrost delicate foods, bake either conventional or fan-forced, as well as
conventional grilling or fan grilling for excellent rotisserie style flavour.
The right hand oven (FED only) also offers conventional oven cooking and a variable heat grill. This allows you to
cook separate meals, bake entrees or desserts, or grill separately while the multi-function oven cooks a meal.
The control panel features a 24 hour electronic clock which incorporates an independent timer, useful for timing
household activities. The electronic oven clock allows manual operation or the ability to program cooking times,
giving you the freedom to cook meals to suit your own schedules.
NOTE: Automatic programmed cooking operates in the multi-function oven only.
Cleaning the oven interior is made simple with St George’s high quality vitreous enamel. The doors easily lift off
and the in-oven parts are removable. refer to Cleaning and Maintenance for complete care instructions)

3.9Cooktop Controls
3.9.1Gas Burner Controls
The cooktop burners are ignited by the in-built electronic ignition controls. The controls must be turned anticlockwise to operate and can only be turned clockwise to the off position. Alternatively the burner may be ignited
manually using matches, cooktop gas lighters or similar devices, being careful not to risk injury or damage.
To operate the controls ensure the burners are correctly assembled and positioned over the gas burner outlets
and the pan supports are correctly positioned then:–
a)Start the gas flow by pressing down and turning the control knob corresponding to the burner you wish to
use. Pressing down on the control knob causes the igniter to spark.
b)Once the flame is established the knob needs to be pressed and held for approximately 3 seconds until the
thermocouple holds the gas flow open. The control can then be turned to your prequired setting.
3.10Warming Control (FED and FE90 Models)
The drawer compartment below the oven (left hand oven only for FED) incorporates a heating element and is
perfect for keeping food warm and/or to warm plates and serving dishes. A pilot lamp situated above the Warmer
control indicates when the warming element is on. Allow approximately 10 minutes for the warmer compartment
to pre-heat prior to placing food in to keep warm. When using the drawer to warm plates and serving dishes these
should be placed in the drawer from cold to reduce the risk of breakage. Remember to turn the Warmer control
to the OFF position when the compartment is no longer required for warming.
NOTE: When not in use the drawers may be used to store cookware and utensils. Items which may deteriorate in storage
or with unintentional use of the warming element must never be placed in the compartment.

3.11BBQ Grill Controls (FED model only)
The electric BBQ grill has individual controls for the front and rear grill zones to select the heat desired for
cooking. The controls may be turned in either direction. The indicator lights above the controls glow when the
corresponding element zone is operating.
3.12Roast Probe Operation
WARNING: This mode of cooking is suitable only for Normal Oven, Classic Bake, Fan Assist, Fan Oven or High Bake
modes. Use of the probe sensor in either Grill or Fan Grill modes will damage the probe.
The roast probe operation shares the same digit display as does the timer functions and operates only in the main
oven. The roast probe must be plugged into its socket within the oven compartment to display the current
temperature of the roast probe sensor in the left-hand pair of digits. The Roast Probe Set Temperature (RPST) will
be displayed in the right hand pair of digits and can be adjusted by pressing the or buttons.
NOTE: The RPST can be set between 0°C and 99°C, however, it is not recommended to set the RPST above 85°C as this
gives inconsistent results and may result in the burning of food.
Once the temperature of the roast probe’s sensor reaches or exceeds the RPST the oven will automatically turn
off and the alarm will sound. The alarm can be cancelled by pressing any of the 4 left-hand buttons. If not
manually cancelled the alarm will self cancel after a few minutes. To cancel the roast probe function, remove the
roast probe from its socket.
For complete details refer to Roast Probe Cooking.
NOTE: Whenever the roast probe is plugged in, the RPST is re-set to 80°C.
The time is not displayed when the roast probe is plugged in. If the roast probe is disconnected the display
reverts back to the time of day.
Automatic programmed cooking can be used with the roast probe.

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS
4.COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS
4.1Roasting Hints and General Guide
When roasting or baking, position food near the centre of the oven. This will vary on the size of the food to be
cooked or if other foods are to be cooked at the same time. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on, for
example, the size and thickness of meat or the presence of bone or stuffing.
The temperature for roasting meats and poultry will usually range between 170°C and 200°C. These cooking
temperatures will normally prevent excessive shrinkage and moisture loss. An exception is roast pork which is
placed in a hot oven (around 220°C to 230°C) for the first 15-25 minutes to obtain a crisp crackling, after which the
temperature is reduced to 180°C to 200°C for the remaining cooking time. Of course, these temperatures and
times will vary according to your own personal taste.
Bake meat and vegetables in baking dishes that allow the heat to circulate evenly and brown the food to your own
taste. When cooking more than one dish of food at the same time place cooking utensils so that they do not touch
each other or the sides of the oven. To allow free circulation of heat, do not arrange pans directly above each
other, stagger their positions if possible.
When using the oven to bake a complete meal at one time, for example meat, vegetables and dessert, place the
meat in the lower part of the oven and place the vegetables and dessert above. Note that the cooking times and
temperatures when cooking this way should be similar for each of the dishes. The oven temperature may also
need to be increased slightly to account for the larger volume of food being cooked. Please note that not all types
of food are suitable for cooking together. (e.g. some desserts are not suitable to be cooked with meat)
Make use of retained heat whenever possible. For example, after baking a dinner there should be sufficient
retained heat to dry herbs, bread crumbs and biscuits or fruit.

4.2Preheating
Preheating the oven is not essential, but you will achieve better results if you do. Some foods, particularly cakes
and pastry, are better cooked in a preheated oven. Other foods, for example casseroles, cook just as well when
cooked in a non-preheated oven but may need longer cooking times.
To preheat the main oven:
1. Select the mode required for preheating.
2. Set the oven to the desired temperature.
PREHEATING GUIDE (for 180°C setting)
Cooking ModePreheat time (mins)
Normal Oven25-30
Fan Oven15-20
High Bake8-12
For your convenience use Fan Oven or High Bake modes for fast, efficient preheating of the main oven.
Please note that any food or other cooking utensils placed in the oven during preheating will affect the preheating
time. The preheat time may also vary with installations.
WARNING: When using an alternative cooking mode for faster preheat, be sure to turn the cooking mode to your
required setting before placing food in the oven.
HINT: To allow for heat loss while placing food into the oven, preheat the oven 10-20°C higher and then reduce the
temperature to your required cooking temperature.
Always preheat the oven when cooking multiple dishes at the same time.
To preheat the right hand oven (FED model only)
Turn the right hand oven temperature control to your desired setting. The oven will preheat to 180°C in 25-30
minutes.

The Defrost mode offers a clean and healthy means to defrost frozen food. Food left in the open is exposed to
contamination by pets and insects. With the Defrost setting, food placed in the oven defrosts without heat,
reducing the likelihood of growing bacteria. The circulation of air in the oven achieves effective thawing. The oven
does not provide any heat on this setting which prevents food extremities from over-thawing, or even cooking,
like they tend to do in a microwave.
All foods may be defrosted using this method but it is especially good for meat and fish fillets and delicate frozen
foods such as cream cheesecakes or cakes with cream filling, icing or frosting. The time taken to defrost foods
will vary, depending on the volume and weight of the food. As a general guide the defrosting time for meat should
be approximately 15-20 minutes per kg.
Using Defrost Mode
1. Adjust oven shelves to correct position (this mode is most effective when food is placed near the centre of the
oven).
2. Select Defrost on the mode switch.
3. When defrosting is complete, turn the oven off.
NOTE: A temperature cannot be set when Defrost mode is selected.
To prevent spoilage of food, do not use Defrost for longer than necessary (periodically check food during defrosting).
If food is not to be cooked immediately when defrosting is complete, remove the food from the oven and place
into a refrigerator until needed.
COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS
21
Page 24
COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS
4.5Fan Oven
In this mode the oven fan circulates heat from an element concealed behind the fan cover to give more even
temperature throughout the oven. When cooking more than one tray of food on multiple shelves the even heat
provides similar cooking results throughout each portion of food. Temperatures for cooking foods in this oven
mode are generally the same as required by a conventional oven, however, when cooking foods that require
lengthy cooking cycles a fan forced oven normally cooks more quickly, saving both time and energy (e.g. rich fruit
cakes and large roasts).
Always place the food as near to the centre of the oven as possible. If cooking on more than one level, stagger the
positioning to allow for as much free circulation of heat within the oven as possible.
Using Fan Oven Mode
1. Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2. Select Fan Oven on mode switch.
3. Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4. When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.
HINT: Always preheat the oven when cooking multiple dishes at the same time. Depending on the food, you may need
to rearrange the tray positions during cooking.
After cooking is complete the oven will retain heat for a period of time after being turned off. The retained heat can
be used to dry foods or to keep food warm prior to serving. Examples of foods that may be dried are breadcrumbs,
herbs or fruit. To prevent heat loss when using the oven in this way do not leave the oven door open or open the
door too often. Also remember to remove food from the oven to prevent spoilage.

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS
4.6Normal Oven
In this mode the outside ring of the top oven element and a concealed element under the oven compartment
provides the oven heat. Normal Oven is most suitable when cooking on one rack only. For best results, arrange
the shelves so the top of the food is near the centre of the oven. This is usually the second or third shelf position
from the bottom. If cooking on more than one shelf, always preheat the oven and stagger the positions of baking
trays to allow free circulation of heat within the oven. Depending on the food, you may need to rearrange tray
positions during cooking.
Using Normal Oven Mode
1.Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2.Select Normal Oven on mode switch.
3.Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4.When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.
HINT: If water is used in your cooking (such as water placed in a baking dish) the water evaporating during cooking may
cause condensation to escape and run down the front of your appliance. This should not cause any problem to
your appliance, however it is advisable to wipe away the condensation from the exterior of the oven with a very
warm damp cloth during cooking. The level of condensation will be reduced when cooking in Fan Oven mode
where excess moisture is circulated and evaporates during the cooking cycle.
NOTE: Always stand clear of the oven when opening the oven door/s as built up steam may escape rapidly.

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS
4.7Classic Bake
On the Classic Bake selection, heat is provided only by the concealed element under the oven compartment. This
mode is ideal where food must have a well-cooked base or where minimal browning is desired.
Using Classic Bake Mode
1. Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2. Select Classic Bake on mode switch.
3. Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4. When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.
4.8Fan Assist
In Fan Assist mode, heat is provided by the outside ring of the top oven element and the concealed element
under the oven compartment in conjunction with the oven fan. Fan Assist is versatile in batch cooking (where
even temperature is essential), where one dish must have a well-cooked base and another must be well browned.
Using Fan Assist Mode
1. Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2. Select Fan Assist on mode switch.
3. Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4. When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.
HINT: Always preheat the oven when cooking multiple dishes at the same time.
24
Page 27
4.9High Bake
The High Bake mode uses the concealed elements behind the fan cover and under the oven in combination. With
the addition of the forced convection of the oven fan, quick and consistent heat is evenly distributed throughout
the oven. High Bake has the advantage of excellent cooking results for pastry foods such as hors d’oeuvres and
especially Pizza.
The results are quick, not unlike a microwave oven. With the circulation of heat, foods cooked with High Bake
mode retain a crisp, dry texture on the outside. Especially Pizza, pastry and other foods where you want the base
to be well cooked. High Bake is also excellent for re-heating.
Using High Bake Mode
1. Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2. Select High Bake on mode switch.
3. Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4. When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS
4.10Fan Grill
Fan grilling is a combination of direct heat and circulated hot air which gives the appearance and flavour similar
to rotisserie cooking – a crunchy exterior with succulent meat – which is ideal for single level roasts. In this mode
the direct infrared heat from the grill element is also circulated by the fan to cook the food. Note that the food
should be positioned as near to the centre of the oven as possible.
With the added benefit of the circulated air, more even cooking can be achieved giving excellent results. The FanGrill mode has been developed to replace grilling with the door open and has the following advantages over
conventional grilling:–
1. Food is generally more moist.
2. Improved rotisserie style flavour.
3. Most cooking fumes from grilling pass through the oven vent.
4. Reduced spatter when cooking fatty meats.
For even browning, St George recommends turning food once only.
Using Fan Grill Mode
1. OVEN DOOR MUST BE CLOSED IN Fan Grill MODE
2. Place food on grill rack and pan supplied (ensure grill rack is inverted to the high position to allow best
circulation of air).
3. Place grill pan on shelf carrier so that the food is positioned as close as possible to the centre of the oven.
4. Select Fan Grill on mode switch.
5. Set the oven to the desired temperature. (see Note below and refer to Fan Grill Temperature Guide)
6. When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.
NOTE: Large grill pans or roasting dishes can restrict the circulation of air in the oven. To prevent moisture condensing in
the cooler lower sections of the oven, preheat the oven for approximately 10 minutes using Normal Oven or HighBake modes prior to fan grilling.
NOTE: The temperature setting in Fan Grill mode must not exceed 200°C (390°F).
The grill element has a safety shutdown at approximately 200°C (390°F). Once the temperature in the oven has
reached this limit the element will be switched off. The element will switch back on once the oven cools slightly.
WARNING: The grill pan handle provided should only be used to assist in sliding the grill pan in and out of the oven
compartments. AT NO TIME MAY IT BE USED FOR LIFTING THE GRILL PAN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE
26
PAN IS LADEN WITH FOOD.

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS
4.15Cooktop Cooking
To achieve the best possible cooking results, the following points are recommended:-
* Make sure that both the cooktop surface and the bottom of your cookware is clean and dry before cooking.
Clean and dry surfaces will help prevent scratches and stains on your cooktop and cookware.
* Use good quality saucepans with thick ground bases (preferably 5 mm thick) that effectively cover the heating
area. Pans which have smooth, slightly concave or flat bases when cold will expand and become flat when hot.
Thin, warped, dented or ridged bases can cause irregular heat distribution resulting in uneven heating of food.
Quality stainless steel pans are recommended.
* The size of the pan should closely match the size of the cooking zone to be used - not much wider or narrower.
If the diameter of the base of the cookware is much smaller than the diameter of the cooking zone, you will
waste energy and increase the risk of burning spills. If the cookware is too large for the burner boiling times will
be delayed.
* Use a set of twin or triple saucepans or saucepans with dividers when individually cooking several vegetables
at the same time using only one burner.
* When steaming, use saucepans with close fitting lids.
* When cooking food such as cut vegetables or fruit, cut the food into pieces of uniform size to obtain even
cooking.
* When cooking vegetables use a minimum amount of hot water to obtain a crisp texture and prevent over
cooking. The quantity of water will depend on the type, quantity and quality of the vegetables being cooked.
With the exception of frying, etc., always cook with the lid on the saucepan at the correct heat level to prevent
boilovers.
WARNING: Oversize cookware will deflect heat towards the cooktop and bench top surfaces. Cookware with large
bases, especially if placed off-centre over the burners, may cause deterioration of the cooktop and bench
top surfaces. Such damage is not covered under the provisions of the warranty.

The electric BBQ grill has two heating zones (front and rear) with individual controls to select the heat desired for
cooking. Both controls have a full range of settings and can be used independently or together.
Using the BBQ Grill
1. Raise the BBQ’s stainless steel lid or remove it entirely.
2. Select the area/s you wish to cook on (front, rear or both) and turn on the relevant control/s to your required
settings. Allow approximately 5-10 minutes for the volcanic rock and grill grids to reach cooking temperature.
3. Commence cooking.
4. When cooking is complete make sure all controls are turned to the off position. Allow the unit to cool to room
temperature before lowering or re-fitting the stainless steel lid.
WARNING: The appliance must never be left unattended when cooking with the BBQ grill as built up cooking fats in the
unit may ignite during use. (see Cleaning and Maintenance for cleaning requirements for the BBQ grill)
The BBQ’s stainless steel lid must be in the up position when the grill is in operation.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5.CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper cleaning and maintenance of your appliance will provide you with years of pleasant use. To maintain the
appearance and durability of your appliance we encourage you to read and follow the instructions, hints and
warnings included throughout this manual. Care must always be taken to prevent scratches on your appliance
from hard or sharp objects.
NOTE: People with sensitivity to cleaning chemicals must take the necessary precautions. St George recommends
wearing protective gloves while cleaning the appliance. Routine cleaning of the appliance should only be performed
when the appliance is at room temperature.
DO NOT USE ANY ACIDIC OR CAUSTIC CLEANERS, ABRASIVE POWDERS OR SCOURERS ON THE
INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF THE APPLIANCE. Substances or items with these properties may discolour or
damage the finishes of your appliance. If any abrasive, acidic or caustic substance or cleaning agent should
come into contact with the appliance, rinse off immediately with water, taking special care to avoid injury if
surfaces are hot.
5.1Recommended Cleaners
Mild detergents and warm water together with a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth achieve good results for normal
cleaning.
Diluted washes with Ammonia and water should rinse away any adhesive residue or gummy deposits on the
appliance surfaces. Eucalyptus oil (small amounts) is also good for removing adhesive residue. Alcohol based
products (e.g. Methylated Spirit, etc.) are not recommended.
Brand name cream cleansers and concentrates, without abrasive qualities, can be used in small amounts to
break down greasy deposits and dirt.
After cleaning make sure cleaned surfaces are thoroughly rinsed to prevent any risk of baked on cleaner residues
and wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.
NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel surfaces St George recommend 3M brand or Advance (by Cleaveland Cleaning
Supplies) stainless steel cleaner. Other reputable brand cleaners specifically formulated for cleaning stainless
steel may also be acceptable. Do not use steel soap pads or abrasive scourers of any kind. The abrasive qualities
of these pads will ruin the even brushed finish of the stainless steel and any residual metal fibres may corrode
causing a rusty/dull appearance. Metal polishes with abrasive qualities are also not recommended.

5.2Routine Cleaning
If possible, the oven and/or cooktop should be wiped down after each use to prevent dirt and grease build up.
Ensure all controls are off and the appliance is cool before cleaning. To clean the exterior, wipe the control panel,
handles, glass, stainless steel and enamel surfaces regularly using a warm, damp, non-abrasive cloth. Mild
detergents may be safely used on all of these surfaces. When wiping stainless steel surfaces which have a
brushed finish, wipe in the same direction as the brushing. The pan supports (all models except FEC) easily lift off
and are dishwasher safe.
Cleaning the oven is made simple with St George’s high quality vitreous enamel. To clean the oven interior
remove the door/s (see Removing Oven Door) for better access while cleaning. The shelves and shelf guides
can be lifted out for cleaning by removing the relevant thumb screws. The shelves and shelf guides can be
washed by hand or by dishwasher. The fan cover can be lifted out for cleaning separately by removing the
fasteners retaining it in place. The fan blade can also be removed for cleaning if necessary. Note that the fan
blade nut has a left handed thread.
Wipe out the compartment/s with a warm, damp, non-abrasive cloth. Mild detergents may be safely used on the
oven interiors. Do not forget the inside top and back of the oven/s and the back of the oven door/s. If using
commercial oven cleaners, choose only non-caustic cleaners and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid
contact with elements, rubber door seals and exterior surfaces.
After cleaning make sure all surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and then wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
39
Page 42
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5.3Spills, Spatters and Accidents
When using the appliance, it may be soiled by food spills and spatters or foreign items such as plastics accidentally
coming into contact with warm or hot surfaces. Some foods, such as fruit juices (especially citrus juices like
lemon juice) and vinegar’s (i.e. acidic substances) or sugar or foods containing sugar can discolour or damage
enamel finishes.
The enamel interior of your St George appliance has a hard durable finish which is resistant to wear and
discoloration. However, to maintain the appearance and durability of the finish any spills must be wiped off
immediately. This should be done as soon as possible and necessary precautions must be taken to avoid injury
from hot surfaces. Once cool the affected area should be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed using non-abrasive, mild
cleaning detergents and water.
WARNING: USE OF ALUMINIUM FOIL IN OVENS
The use of aluminium foil on the base of the oven to avoid spillage and improve cleaning is not recommended.
The bottom element of St George ovens is concealed under the base of the oven liner (not exposed). Foil or
dishes with reflective qualities must never be placed on the base of the oven during cooking as the
concentration of the direct and reflected heat will damage the enamel surface. Damage resulting
from such use is not covered under the provisions of the warranty.
NOTE: To fully preserve the enamelled finish of the grill pan supplied with your appliance, make sure that it is properly
lined (e.g. with aluminium foil) when used for grilling or baking fish and other foods with high acid content such as
fatty meats and fruits.
40

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5.4Cleaning the BBQ Grill (FED Model)
The BBQ grill plates, element, volcanic rocks and smokeless grill tray are removable for cleaning. The grill plates
and tray are dishwasher safe and the fixed grill box (in the unit) can be easily wiped clean.
WARNING: Built up cooking fats in the unit may ignite during use. To avoid the build up of cooking fats the BBQ unit
must be regularly cleaned. Volcanic rocks are absorbent and may entrap cooking fats within the rock pores.
When cleaning the unit, the rocks should be removed and cleaned by soaking in warm soapy water and
then thoroughly rinsed with hot water. The best way to avoid fat build up in addition to cleaning is to
periodically replace the BBQ rocks. With normal usage it is recommended that the rocks be replaced every
six months. The rocks may need to be replaced at different intervals depending on the unit’s usage.
5.5Removing Oven Door (downward opening door models only)
The oven door can be easily removed for better access while cleaning. To remove the oven door:–
1. Open the door fully and pull the clips toward you onto the hooks.
2. Raise the door slightly and, holding the sides of the door about half way up and making sure the clips stay on
the hooks, lift the door gently. This should disconnect the hinges from the oven frame.
3. Remove the door by continuing to raise it while pulling the door away from the oven. When handling the door
be careful not to dislodge the clips off the hooks. If so the hinge will have to be closed by hand and the clip re
engaged onto the hook before re-fitting onto the oven.
To re-fit the oven door:-
1. Holding the door at an angle to the oven, slide the hinges into the oven frame, making sure that on each side
the top, curved arm fits into the top slot and the lower arm fits into the bottom slot.
2. Make sure the hinges are pushed in as far as they will go and the lower arm engages into the plate mounted in
the oven frame.
3. Open the door completely and disengage the clips from the hooks. You may need to push the clips down with
your finger if they do not fall away from the hooks by themselves. The door can now be opened and closed as
normal.

5.6Self Clean Oven Liners
An Optional Self Clean Oven Liner Kit is available as an accessory which,when fitted into the oven, catalyses
cooking fats which come into contact with their surfaces during oven operation.The fats burn and flake to the
oven floor so a quick brush out when the oven is cool is all that’s required. The non-liner surfaces in the oven can
then be wiped down for brilliantly simple results. For extra cleaning action, heat the empty oven at 230°C for 15
to 20 minutes.
Be very careful not to scratch the surfaces of the liners. Large spills should be removed by sponging the liners
using warm water and a soft sponge. If large areas of the catalytic coated liners are covered with cooking fats the
self cleaning action may not be as effective. The catalytic liners can be cleaned by removing them from the oven
and rinsing with clear hot water only. Cleansing agents or oven cleaners must never be used on the self-clean
liners.
5.7Changing the Light Globe
The oven illumination lamp/s are located in the side wall/s of the oven compartment/s. The light globe is located
behind the glass cover and is a screw-in type.
Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
To change a light globe:-
1.Gently lever out the glass cover from the rear edge.
2.Unscrew the light globe and screw in a replacement globe.
3.Replace the glass cover making sure it fits correctly into place.

7.GAS CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 Gas Supply Connection
WARNING: This appliance must be installed according to the installation requirements of the local gas authority
and the appropriate installation code issued (within Australia) by the A.L.P.G.A and A.G.A (reference
code AG601) and the building authorities requirements and any other applicable requirements.
1. Check the gas type of the appliance which is identified by a sticker attached to the appliance.
2. Ensure the location of the gas sup-ply and routing of the gas line is appropriate for the appliance (see installation
diagrams for gas connection location details).
3. A manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line, in an accessible position external to the appliance,
such that the gas supply to the appliance can be shut off in the event of an emergency or for servicing without
having to remove the appliance.
4. For LPG models, the gas supply for the appliance must be regulated to a pressure of 2.75 kPa (11” W.G.). The
gas inlet is fitted with an adapter incorporating a pressure test point and has a
For Natural Gas models, the gas supply is connected to the regulator supplied with the appliance which has a

’’ female BSP thread.
WITH A SPANNER WHEN CONNECTING THE SUPPLY. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. THE REGULATOR MUST
NOT BE CONNECTED TO APPLIANCE OR THE GAS SUPPLY WITHOUT THREAD SEALANT/LUBRICATION
AS DRY CONNECTION MAY PERMANENTLY BIND THREADS. The regulated pressure for Natural Gas is 1.0
kPa (4’’ W.G.).
5. After installing the gas supply and making all connections, the supply line connections must be checked for
possible leaks. With all controls of the appliance in the off position, open the gas supply valve and using a soap
and water solution check each gas connection one at a time by brushing the solution over the connection. The
formation of bubbles indicates a leak. Tighten the fitting and recheck for leaks. If it is not possible to correct the
leak by tightening, replace the fitting. Matches or lighters must never be used to check for leaks.
6. Turn on each burner control and light in turn. Check for a clear blue flame without excessive yellow tipping. If
burners show any abnormal combustion check they are correctly located. Sometimes burners may not ignite
immediately and may seem to ‘‘blow’’ slightly when they do ignite. This is usually due to air in the gas line, which
should clear itself.
7. If, after following the instructions, satisfactory performance cannot be obtained, contact the local gas authority
for advice and assistance.
8. For minor adjustments see Servicing and Minor Adjustments.
9. A two (2) yearly inspection of the appliance by an authorised service agent will ensure many years of trouble free
